Loved doing this on the Gamecube version! (loramaru, never forget). PSO was revolutionary in so many ways. How many other console games had screenshot captures and a built-in basic phrase translator in the early 2000s? Great video and always good to see people keeping PSO alive!
Wow I didn't know this was a thing, makes sense seeing old screen shots kicking around online but it's crazy there is no image converter just for offline screenshot saves o3o !! Saw a post online from 2021 of someone asking about it just to be told your "better off using your phone" completely missing the point . This is a cool feature and definitely ahead of its time.
I used to play PSO EP 1&2 on the Gamecube back in the day. Unfortunately 95% of my Nintendo collection is gone with the wind :(. I have however over the years been playing on PC starting with Blue Burst waaay back, and some other servers just a few years back. So there's still a community going on ^^
Yeah, before you even said it I was kinda already guessing the image would take the entire VMU to store, I mean today images are kinda tiny, but back then even a simple screenshot would take alot of space, especially on such a tiny storage unit like a VMU.
Screenshot is so cool and you only recognise their value after years and years. I wish I still had my old World of Warcraft screenshots, but sadly they died along with an old PC.
I think that's my first time seeing footage of a Grass Assassin in Forest 1. Guess that was just in the beta copy they used for the recordings or something?
I want to take screenshots and back them up till someone makes a tool for this. Do you know if transferring them from the VMU to an SD card adapter over the serial port works?
Oh you can definitely emulate the console versions and play on custom servers alongside people using the real consoles. Most people playing on PC are better off just playing Blue Burst though.
i used to play this game a lot when i was younger on both DC and PC, just a pity PSO2 is so much of a cash grab with everything that it try's to sell you like more bank space, more invent space, selling on the AH, trading other people are stuff they try and sell you and if you play it you need that bank space and invent space...
the 64DD had online capabilities, but that was in 1999. the dreamcast came out in 1998. additionally you couldnt play games online with the 64DD if you want to get real technical about it, the sega saturn had sega net link in 1996, but you couldnt play games through that either
There were some amazingly forward-thinking people at Sega back then
also, lol at 'europeen' at 3:03

I recently got my 'cube version back online.

If I knew how to help I would, but I never played PSO nor do I know how the Dreamcast even was back then, I do own one now but never did as a child.

Damn I had no idea this existed! I wish I did :( I was playing during the OG release too.
Great video!! I had no idea about taking screenshots on the Dreamcast
Ohh wow!!! I never knew this feature, unfortunately!
Props for Tactics Ogre music 😊🎉
Now I can die knowing this random fact that u can take screenshots in PSO
Algo doing it's work. Sick video :)

Amazing
nice message to the world!
This is great. I also play PSO.
you could do what!? Never knew that!
😊❤❤❤
Kind of surprised someone hasn't just found a way to emulate this game on PC by now.
They have, you can play it using Dolphin.

@beardalaxy I recently got my Gamecube version back online.
There's dreamcast emulators that can connect online, and a literal pc port of the game called blue burst.
I'm playing with RetroArch and a Public Key

Didn’t n64 have online first?

@@forteprotze I thought a few games could be played P2P. I guess that doesn't quite count as online in the typical sense though.
@@forteprotze Also technically the Sega Genesis and SNES had online before even that thanks to XBand.
